Geocache Description:

Olivia's Day Cache - Poohstick bridge


Easy Cache that should be suitable for all, but mobility impaired might need assistance for the last couple of metres. It goes without saying that water is near so be careful with children. It used to be a small lok'n'lok box in a camo-bag but after it was muggled it has been replaced by a 20ml stealth container (smaller than a film container)

Many a happy hour has been spent by countless children, searching for the ideal stick, and timing the drop so to hit the best flow under the bridge ....And as we live in the village our family have used this small bridge for many Poohstick competitions.
